Pirzek emphasizes: "I have always held firm to the belief that we need to be positive role models for our youth by encouraging and engaging them in positive citizenship within our community; after all they are the future volunteers and leaders! So keep your eyes and ears peeled as we Grow and Glow for another season!”

Retiring president, Bob Abbott commented: "I'm very pleased to put the leadership of the Festival in Rob's capable hands. I've enjoyed my three years in that role, and look forward to continuing with the Festival in a less demanding position."
